Color, options etc...
Blue metallic, premium grey cloth interior, 5.0 TPI, which meant A4. I don't recall the specifics beyond that; I only had the car one year. After that car, it was 9 years of Japanese FWD, though I also had my '71 Cutlass when I needed it

Sounds like a nice car. I always loved that color.

An '85 IROC is still on my "to get" list. Silver with red interior (pref. Lear Siegler interior) or yellow with tan interior, (again pref. L/S interior).

Either one of those with an L69/T-5 combo would be be great!

Funny story -- I had ordered a silver Z28 with the TPI engine. But then I made the mistake of stopping at the dealer before it was in, and I saw the blue IROC-Z. I paid too much for the car, of course....

Why did you only have it for a year?

No good reason. It was replaced with a Honda Civic SI.
I should just have waited for the Z28 or bargained a little harder for the IROC-Z.

It took 12 1/2 years to get back into a Camaro.

I think the new Camaro is great, but it's not for me, so I'll be keeping my gen4 for a while. It's funny, but the new Camaro seems to appeal more to younger folks than those of us who bought a 3rd gen new, though being a generalization, I'm sure there are lots of counter-examples.

Almost left a dealership on Saturday w/o my '05 Harley Road King while sitting in a '10 White 2SS/RS 6-speed manual with the orange trim package. Then the Heads Up display on the '11s across the room started to call me. I left on the bike thinking, "maybe I should wait for the Z/28." So I am the newbee here and posting for the first time. What's the latest word on the street?

Just like with the Challenger, I love to look at the 2010 Camaro and it brightens my day a bit to see one.

Same here.

The Mustang does it to me as well, especially the '05 - '09 GT and GT500 models.

The other day I watched a guy and his lady merge onto the highway next to me in a blue w/ white stripes ~ '08-ish GT500 droptop. Damn I'd love to have one of those.

im not a big fan of the last model mustangs, but the new 2010-2011 model is growing on me. the commercial of the grey gt with the black wheels, looks super slick. i love that dark grey.

I would love to know what it's like to drive mine and have people look while I drive it.
